Impact Evidence « Let's Think

Numerous research papers published over a thirty-year period have shown the effects of teaching Let’s Think on pupils’ learning are:

permanent, i.e. do not fade with time,
across subjects. i.e. not confined to the school subject they started with,
statistically significant compared with similar classes without Lets Think lessons,
applicable to 6/7 year olds as well as 11/12 year olds,
proven to have a significant effect on children’s capabilities with even a moderate use,
replicable elsewhere, e.g. in Finland

Few, if any other approach has produced such long-term effects across the board.

This summary document provides a simple guide to the impact evidence in Science and Mathematics. (Let’s Think English is still a live research project and impact evidence has not yet been published.)

The Education Endowment Fund is a new independent grant-making charity whose research findings will help schools to more effectively use their pupil premium. Of their 5 top rated 4* effects, Let’s Think has a focus on two with a combined impact on attainment of +13 months. They are metacognition and self regulation, and collaborative learning.
